GH:WT first impressions

I just got mine yesterday, and I haven't had enough times to thoroughly check the drums, but I think i've got the same sensitivity probs.
What sucks worse than that is one of those locking latches is busted on the drum stand, and EB told me I'm SOL with them, so I gotta deal with RedOctane for that. I hope I can just get a replacement part and not have to ship the entire thing back....
 
well the issues with the drums not working and i much prefer the rb bass pedal (being a drummer its just like the real thing as opposed to the one from ghwt...there's barely any pressing it down and it just doesn't act as much as like a real one)...plus i prefer the sensitivity of the rb2 drums...atleast until activision figures out their issues

i went from 75% expert drums with ghwt drums to 95% using the rb2 drums so...

Cool, I was just curious. I do wish the bass pedal at least attached to the set like the RB one but I'll figure a way to deal. My brain can barely process the fact that I need to drum and then move my foot and hit the pedal all at the same time. It my drumming downfall :(
 
i just tried this game at a friends house last night... minus the drums, which are sold out everywhere in the gta. would ps3 rock band 1 drums work on x360 ghwt game?

there are some nice tracks in there but i was left with a feeling of meh.
 
God Dammit... sorta fix the drums with the tape fix, but also getting the sensitivity cable.... of course, NOW the damn strum bar snapped while playing... What next? Seriously?

This is just piss poor of Activision and Red Octane......
 
I am waiting for good 3rd party drums that will work for RB 1/ 2 and GHWT on the wii

At least my old guitars work great on this and we have gotten a LOT of play time out of world tour.
 
I am debating what to do with my kit. The drums worked perfect, but I am having the guitar strum problem with downstrums. Does not work over 50% of the time unless you are extremely firm with it.

I also have the problem that my 360 Elite started hardlocking and now won't even power on with the RROD, so I'm going to be out of commission for awhile too. I'm still within the 14 day return window with Best Buy, but I really hate turning in one of the few working drum kits just because the guitar is borked.

I'm thinking I probably will though because I am hopeful the issues will be resolved by the time I get my repaired 360 back, so I will have to take my chances with that because I don't want to risk getting stuck with a useless guitar.

There should be a warranty from Neversoft or Red Octane for the instruments. Just RMA it. My friend did that with his Rock Band guitar.
 
Are the drum kits for either quieter? Is one quieter than the other?

RB2 set is somewhat quieter than the RB1 set. The "clacking" sound present in the RB1 set is now gone though so it reduced noise + no-clack makes for a more tolerable. Don't get your hopes up thinking it will sound like snare drum mutes - b/c it doesn't.

Nah, I wasn't thinking that. I'm just torn between game bundles. At some point I'll have both games, but obviously only one instrument set. I know I want the GHWT guitar though. I'm not a fan of the RB/RB2 guitar.
